A content hub dedicated to 20 years of COVER and the protection, PMI and employee benefits industries.

Dear COVER readers,

We are delighted to be celebrating COVER's 20th anniversary and we believe that it sits front and centre as the foremost resource for intermediaries advising on protection and private medical insurance coverage.

To mark our 20th anniversary, we have launched a standalone, dedicated content hub.

This hub will looking at the past present and future of the protection, private medical insurance and employee benefits industries, and how these markets have evolved in tandem with COVER, which has also changed a lot as a publication over the past 20 years.

The content will be offering an overview and looking back, as you might expect, but will also broadly address the following issues and many more: how have these markets changed over the past 20 years, how successful have industry campaigns been, where are we now in terms of adviser distribution, what do we expect in terms of future innovations and market practices?

How do consumer views differ from the insurer and adviser markets? What does protection, PMI and employee benefits need to improve on to enjoy a much more buoyant future?

The content hub will be updated each week for the next two months featuring exclusive interviews with leading industry figures as well as features, images, polls and social media engagement.

The protection market has seen a lot of changes and heard a number of opinions, but what have we learnt? Scottish Widows' Johnny Timpson shares his thoughts on a few important things we've learnt over the past two decades.
